In an effort to gain support from college students and their parents, both Democrats and Republicans have begun to focus on rising interest rates on subsidized college loans, The New York Times reported. After fending off a weeklong attack from President Barack Obama regarding a potential 3.4-percent increase, Republicans in the House of Representatives will vote on Friday in hopes of preventing the July 1 increase from occurring, The Times reported. Both sides said they agree that these interest rates must be decreased, but Republicans wish to cut money from a program within the 2009 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, while Democrats want the money to come from repealing tax breaks on oil companies, according to The Times. Without legislative action, it is predicted that the interest rates will revert to 6.8 percent, which will have a significant impact on graduates entering an already "sluggish" job market, The Times reported.

Getting that acceptance letter from Dartmouth was probably one of the most momentous experiences of my life. Just like the rest of the '15s, I immediately read all the information about Dartmouth that I could get my hands on. I signed up for meet-ups, contacted my roommates and obviously requested to be a part of the Dartmouth Class of 2015 Facebook group.

Almost everyone can conjure up an image of the traditional boarding school student: preppy, competitive and obviously in the 99th percentile academically. Yet when a boarder is asked to self-evaluate, these students describe themselves and their experiences in vastly different ways. One thing is certain, however: These students were and continue to be extremely qualified people searching for a natural transition from their high school experiences.

I met my wonderful boyfriend Brad during our First-Year DOC Trip Hiking 3 Section J. Well, technically we met on the Bema when I jumped into his strong arms during those wonderful meet-and-greet games you play before heading off on your trip. Brad and I looked into each other's eyes, and I just knew he was the one for me. While hiking, we grew closer and spent hours spilling our secrets and snuggling under our tarp. When we returned to campus, Brad took me on a lovely date to FoCo. While this might seem a little cheesy, Brad made it special for me he paid using his own DBA and brought all my food to the table. He even brought a tablecloth and candlesticks with him!

Blitz is without a doubt one of the most useful mechanisms we as Dartmouth students have to express ourselves. While we love getting blitzes, you have probably also felt the crushing disappointment of thinking you've received a text only to realize that it's just another blitz from some Gov 10 randos reminding you to participate in their SurveyMonkey or Humanitarian Engineering encouraging you to buy one of their Green Key t-shirts. From surveys to bake sales, every student at Dartmouth has his or her least favorite blitz to receive, and there's no doubt that some groups on campus voice themselves a little too much.

Yale University released its first sexual misconduct report Tuesday, describing sexual harassment complaints that have been made on campus from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2011 and how these situations have been handled, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. The 52 confidential cases listed include allegations made by students or employees. The report provides transparency in the university's handling of sexual misconduct incidents, especially following criticism of how the university responded to allegations against Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, which was suspended for five years due to public cases of sexual harassment, The Times reported. Yale's report found that the majority of people who are sexually assaulted do not report it to the appropriate authorities. Most of the cases filed in the report were resolved prior to police involvement and ended with little to no investigation, according to The Times.

Once you come to college, you start to realize that everything is relative. While this change in perspective can sometimes be enlightening, intellectual and academic, in other ways, college life can lead to a deterioration of what you view as acceptable.

In a recent study regarding the relationship between racial discrimination and risky sexual behavior, psychological and brain sciences professor Megan Roberts found that racism adversely affects African-American adolescent sexual behavior, according to The Good Therapy Blog, a blog focused on therapy and clinical psychology. Her study revealed that racial discrimination can have negative emotional impacts, such as depression and anxiety, on those exposed to racism. Roberts examined 745 African-American 10-year-olds and re-observed them at ages 15 and 18, according to The Good Therapy Blog. She found that 90 percent of these teenagers were exposed to racism and were therefore more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, The Good Therapy Blog reported. Roberts' study concluded that "attentive parenting" reduced the discrimination and thus the likelihood of contracting sexual transmitted diseases, according to the blog.
